The
following papers were recommended background reading for the meeting.
Please note that Mantua and Francis ("Natural climate insurance..."),
Kates, and Schellnhuber papers were central to the discussion titled "A
hypothesis on changes needed to integrate climate information into sustainable
salmon management policies".
All papers are in a PDF format.

The session began with two brief presentations
on the concepts introduced in the Kates and Schellnhuber papers
as well as other background papers suggested
for the meeting. Participants were asked to discuss whether they
agreed or disagreed with the concepts as they relate to salmon
management and recovery.
